Taraji P. Henson Had A Truly Iconic Night At The Oscars

On Sunday Taraji P. Henson attended the Oscars in Los Angeles. She was there representing Best Picture nominee Hidden Figures alongside her co-stars Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer. Moonlight was the big winner and Hidden Figures was up for three Oscars in total but left empty-handed. Not that it mattered; amid the ensuing madness Taraji provided us with plenty of memorable moments.

She slayed on the red carpet.
